PhoneVR

PhoneVR is a lightweight utility that enables you to use Steam VR-enabled apps with your phone in the role of Head-Mounted display. To make sure that the program works as intended, first you need to make sure that you meet the basic requirements, which entail Windows 7 or newer, smartphone with Android 5.0 or newer, VR games installed on the Steam platform and OpenGL-ES 3.0.

Once you check all the prerequisites off the list, you can decompress the archive and run the script inside. As you probably hinted, you also need to copy the dedicated registry files to your local driver folder and install the corresponding Android app on your smartphone. Now you can open the phone app first and after run the game of your choice on your computer. The developer recommends that both the phone and PC are in the same network and, for optimal results, the network should preferably be WiFi 5.0.

The advantage of this tool steams from the fact that it enables you to play various virtual reality titles without having to invest in a dedicated VR headset. You can use the money you save from hardware to check out some of the games you wanted to try out for a long time.
